things worth noticing

sixteen small things to look for this month. cross one off when you find it, or don't. they'll still be there.

a leaf you had to stop and pick up
your breath, for the first time this year
a conker straight out of its case
a web with the morning caught in it
mist that has not burned off yet
a squirrel with somewhere to be
a mushroom that was not there last week
berries the birds are working through
woodsmoke, from somewhere out of sight
a puddle worth the long way round
the sun, low and right in your eyes
birds going over in a line
more mud than there was in september
an acorn, then five more in your pocket
the first branch you can see right through
a colour you would struggle to name
no winning. no timer. nothing to send anyone. just noticing, which turns out to be the whole thing.
